Let Go
RAC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me, tell me, tell me your problems
I'm here for you
Just try, just try, just try to stay sober
It's eating you
And they say you are a monster, but what I see's a child
Your eyes, your eyes are glowing red
(You are golden, you are pure)
So let go, let go of your fire
Let it go, let go of your fire
Live it up 'til we crash and there's smoke in the air
Let it go, let go of your fire
You play, you play, you play up to them
But they're not around
Don't be, don't be so rough with me
When you are a gem
And they ask how I can love you, when all they see is this
But I see the things that you can't contain and what it does to you
So let go, let go of your fire
Let it go, let go of your fire
Live it up 'til we crash and there's smoke in the air
Let it go, let go of your fire
Let go, let go of your fire
Let it go, let go of your fire
Live it up 'til we crash and there's smoke in the air
Let it go, let go of your fire
(You are golden, you are pure)
So let go, let go of your fire
Let it go, let go of your fire
Live it up 'til we crash and there's smoke in the air
Let it go, let go of your fire
Let go, let go of your fire
Let it go, let go of your fire
Live it up 'til we crash and there's smoke in the air
Let it go, let go of your fire
The lyrics to RAC's "Let Go" appear to be a message of encouragement to someone struggling with addiction or inner demons. The song opens with the line "Tell me, tell me, tell me your problems, I'm here for you," indicating that the singer is reaching out to offer support. The next lines, "Just try, just try, just try to stay sober, it's eating you," suggest that the person in question is facing a difficult battle with substance abuse.
The second verse expands on the singer's observations of the struggling individual, describing them as being seen as a "monster," but the singer sees them as a "child" with "glowing red" eyes and a "tongue [that] has caught on fire." The metaphorical language paints a picture of someone in the grip of intense emotion or compulsion.
The chorus, with the repeated lines "Let go, let go of your fire / Let it go, let go of your fire," takes on a double meaning. "Fire" could be seen as a metaphor for destructive tendencies or addiction, but it could also be read as a euphemism for passion, energy, or creativity. The repeated injunction to "live it up 'til we crash and there's smoke in the air" could be interpreted either as a call to embrace life to the fullest or a warning that risky behavior could have dangerous consequences.
Overall, "Let Go" appears to be a song that recognizes the struggles of addiction and emotional turmoil, but seeks to offer support and encouragement rather than condemnation. The repeated affirmation that "you are golden, you are pure" reinforces the idea that the person in question has inherent value and is worthy of love and acceptance.

The actress and actor in the video speak volumes with their eyes and expressions, despite the fact that there's no actual dialogue. Neither of them utters a single word, but you know EXACTLY what each one is thinking at all times.
@maddisoncooper8529
WeAreN1nja I know right?!? You can tell at the end that he feels guilt for turning her in and that she still loves him despite what he did
@itzcassiieex
